PSP version of Ys ark of Napishtim. Have so many systems/games to play I tend to jump between games a lot but this one stuck with me, I loved it. Don’t know how many hours I spent in Canaan, but I had a great time getting to the end. Starting Ys seven now
Is the Retroid any good? Every emulation handheld I’ve managed to get has been trash so far.
Retro Game Corps has a very in depth review on it, as well as other similar handhelds. This probably has the least compromises for a device of this price.
It’s fantastic, runs most psp games at 3x resolution. Also runs many ps2 and GameCube games playable, if not well. Dreamcast runs great, the screen is bright and colours are vibrant. I do want a steam deck to go with this for things that need a bit more power but this is pocketable and will be on me when I go out.
Dang, PS2 and GameCube playable? That’s honestly a shock to me, I wasn’t even sure PS1 would be doable.
PS1 runs perfectly in duckstation, with upscaling and filters. I have started a tomb raider play through and it looks amazing at 720p…
My recommendation is a homebrewable Switch. It runs pretty much anything you’d want in terms of emulation up to but not including the Wii U and PS3. Usually you can find them second-hand pretty cheap.
I’ve got a real early switch I’ve been wanting to mod for a while, I’m just worried about ending up with a cheap shim that screws the connections on my rails.
Can just get a steam deck. The emulators run great on it so far.
There’s a pretty gigantic gap between a $150 device and a $400 device.
That is true, but given the option to save up for a steam deck if you can, the difference in performance and capabilities is also a pretty gigantic leap.
This thing is also pretty lightweight, while the Steam Deck is practically a boat anchor.
Yeah I’m genuinely surprised how ergonomics don’t seem to be a factor in recommendations I see for the Steam Deck.
I tried to bring my Deck out and about with me, but after a couple of weeks I went running back to my OLED Switch. The Deck is fine for sitting around the house but I find it pretty cumbersome otherwise.
